Chapter 15. Introduction to the Resource Management Utility
(RMU)
The Resource Management Utility is one of the AFP Utilities that allows you to
manage the AFP resources, such as overlay objects, that are created by the
Overlay Utility or page segments interactively.
The Resource Management Utility has the following three functions:
Convert to page segment
Working with overlays
Working with page segments
Converting to an AS/400 Page Segment
When you want to place images in an overlay or you want to print a page which
contains some images such as signatures or logos, you need to store these images
on the AS/400 system as page segments before you use them with the Overlay
Utility or the Print Format Utility.
This function allows you to create a page segment from the following:
|An AS/400 database file member that contains an Image Object Content
|Architecture (IOCA) function set 10 image.
|A PC document that contains an Image Object Content Architecture (IOCA)
|function set 10 image and is stored in an AS/400 folder using the Client Access
|for AS/400 shared folder function.
To create a page segment from a file containing an image data stream (IMDS)
image, use the CRTPAGSEG command.
Converting to a Page Segment from an AS/400 Database File
When your AS/400 system is connected to a System/370 through a communication
line, you can create a page segment from a database file of image data by the
following steps:
|1. Use a System/370 image application to create an image of an IOCA function
|set 10 image.
|2. Store the image in a System/370 file.
3. Send the image data from the System/370 system to the AS/400 system.
4. Receive the image data as a physical file member.
5. Start the Resource Management Utility (STRAFPU command).
6. Select Convert to page segment (option 21).
